What a day in History

Well weather you voted for him or not, you have to admit that today is an amazing day in our countries history. Who would of thought that this day would of ever come. I for one am proud to be an American and hope and pray and TAKE ACTION for change. This economy is hitting all of us, or we know someone who has been affected by it.... you know me. Please pray for us and our business, need things to change! OK, enough of the serious stuff.



Here is the latest layout I have completed, this will be my last for a little bit. I am busy painting my desk and wall cubbie that Larry built me for my B-Day and have my room torn apart and want to have it all put back together and perfectly organized before I scrap again.



I LOVE the paper. I found a new place to spend all my allowance at! It is in Vancouver and they have it all! This photo is from the beggining of the snow that hit in December. This was taken during our Snow Party! Doesn't Allyson look so tiny?!
OK, I am off to give the Bug a bath and spend some quality time with the hubby!
Chow for now!

Mini Vision Board

Hello All,

So did you all watch Oprah's "Best Life Week"? I didn't catch it all but I did see the episode when she talked about putting yourself back on your list. I thought that was such a great statement. Not that I am nearly as scheduled as Oprah, but I certainly haven't made myself a priority lately. So I made myself a Mini Vision Board to remind me to focus on a few Important goals. I was very pleased with how it turned out. I used products from Making Mememories, the Sabrina line. I had a hard not

buying everyting in that line when I

saw it at Michaels. The bling is from my dear Sis in Law! SOOO love the bling!! OK, off to get some housework done!

Yes, I am still alive!

Hello my friends and fam!!

I can't believe that it has been so long since my last post! I have been trying to get re-focused on working out again, have a goal to walk in the Seattle Rock and Roll Marathon! Only going to do the 1/2 marathon. I have NEVER!! walked or jogged that far before, so this is going to be a real challenge for me!

Here are a few photo's from Christmas Morning. Isn't she just the cutest!

Here are some photo's from Allyson's visit to her Hygentist. We have been going to see Erin for about a year and a half now just trying to get her use to the experience and keep those teeth closely monitored. They are SO good to here there! Dr. Zigler's office. She saw Dr. Zigler for the first time this visit. She wasn't to sure about that, but they got thru it!

Next! I have been playing with my new Cricut Expressions. I have been anxious to do the Wall Art and now I am offically ADDICTED!! I am planning something for the kitchen and Master Bath. This is in the family room.

OK, I think that will be all for now. I have to get dinner ready and head off to BUNCO tonight! Thanks for stopping by! Have a great weekend!

Loves!

Happy New Year!

Wow, I can hardly believe that the year of 2008 has come and gone! Yesterday was the 13th anniversary of Larry and I's first date! He had a house party for New Years at his little house on 21st. It was PACKED!! His house was 1100 square feet and packed with about 50 people all dancing in the living room to White Zombie!!! Those were the days!!! Little did he relize he was not going to be able to get rid of me!! What a great memory! Today I have been a mad woman getting Christmas Boxed up and the house cleaned up from the Holiday crazyness. I am still not completely done with the cleaning?! I rang in the New Year by myself, Larry was in bed by 10:00, oh well, I stayed up and scrapped a little and watched the Ball drop in NYC. We were invited to a few parties, but I have been really sick so I was not really up for leaving the house.
I will post some photo's from Christmas next time, but wanted to wish all a Happy 2009! Tomorrow is my Birthday, so I think I am going to go on an unauthorized shopping trip to MICHAELS!! Do you think I will get in trouble?!

HAPPY 4th BIRTHDAY BUGGIE!

I can hardly believe 4 years old today!! About this time 4 years ago they were just starting to induce my labor! The whole experience still seems a little surreal! What a joy our little Buggie has been. We love her so much and are so thankful for all her family and friends that shower her with such love and acceptance!! She is an AMAZING little girl and will tackle and overcome many challenges that get put before her!

The first couple photos are from this morning of her opening her gifts. Then we made cupcakes for her last night, she loves cupcakes so that is her Birthday Cake. And the photo of the card is what I made her for her Birthday card. I love how it turned out! OK, better run she is sleeping and I have to straighten up the house!!!

Loves!

More Random stuff!

Hello all,

Still buried under snow here! I can not believe how much we have. We have not done to much as you can imagine! Did drag Larry down to town Saturday to get a few more things for the poor deprived child!!! I felt like she did not have enough toys to open!!! I bought mostly clothing for Allyson for Christmas, due to my terrible "Clothes Horse" problem. And since I can not buy what I really want to wear for myself I live this issue through my daughter!!! Here she is dressing herself completely, including sequined legging and shoes!! She is even starting to want to pose for the camera!!! Will not look at the camera, but says "Cheese" super cute!!

Here she and daddy are posing after giving each other "Tattoos" with her markers!I did the little tree in the Kitchen in Allyson's Hello Kitty Ornaments! It looks so adorable!!

That's all for now! Have a super good night, only 3 more days until the Holly Jolly Day!!! Hope everyone is ready! I have a few things to get done, but not sure if it will happen since I can't drive my car!!! But I am SOO not going to sweat it!!

Loves!

Hello from Winter Wonderland!

Had to share a few random photo's this is an ornament that I made for my Bunco Group's Ornament Exchange. I love it so much! I am definately making one for myself! Larry was even impressed! It looks so much better in person, it is loaded with sparkle! that you can't really see in this photo.





This is a photo of the Dept. 56 Villiage set that my brother Justin got for me! It is SUPER cute! I of course had to rearrange all my houses to get this baby set up!! How fun is that! THANKS Justin, I just love it!

Snow on our roof!!!

I am in SNOW HEAVEN here! We have well over a foot of snow and it is still snowing at this hour. Allyson just had to go for a walk last night, she said "Walk Snowman" she thinks snow is called snowman!!! How funny is that. So we got all bundled up and played on the deck and then took a walk to the front door and then she was done! I got a great photo of the Christmas Tree and snow from outside the house.
